We welcome our second guest, the woman who introduced us to HRT and kicked off our hormone journeys. She shares her personal experience, what led her to hormone therapy, and why this conversation matters for women everywhere.

Hair thinning? Nails breaking for no reason? Yup, hormones are at it again.
In this episode we unpack why perimenopause and menopause can wreak havoc on your hair and nails, what’s behind the changes, and what actually helps. Real talk and zero shame because this phase deserves honesty, not silence.

In this episode, we talk all about menstrual cycles during perimenopause, why periods become unpredictable, what changes are normal, and how hormones drive the chaos. We also clear up when you’re officially considered to be in menopause and why that definition causes so much confusion. If your cycle has you guessing, this episode helps make it make sense.

HRT wasn’t on our bingo card… until it was. In this episode, we talk Hormone Replacement Therapy and bring on our first-ever guest to share her personal HRT journey, the good, the confusing, and the game-changing.

Adult acne during perimenopause or menopause? You’re not alone. In this episode of Hot Flash & Sassy, we unpack why hormonal shifts can lead to breakouts, sensitivity, and skin changes that feel completely unfair. What’s happening, why your old skincare stopped working, and reassurance that your skin isn’t “failing”, it’s changing.

Headaches that won’t quit. Brain fog so thick you forget why you walked into the room. In this episode of Hot Flash and Sassy, we’re breaking down why your head hurts and your brain feels offline during perimenopause and menopause. We talk hormones, headaches, mental fog, and why this isn’t stress, aging, or “just you.”

Anxiety showing up out of nowhere? Racing thoughts, tight chest, and that constant edge? You’re not broken, it might be perimenopause or menopause. In this episode of Hot Flash & Sassy, we’re talking about how hormonal shifts can trigger anxiety, why no one warned us, and what actually helps. Honest, relatable, and validating because you’re not alone, and you’re definitely not crazy.
